The Centuries pass; and the wars never end. So many problems; so much destruction. We have learned nothing from past mistakes; unless it be finding new and more efficient ways to kill each other... "And I can't help but wonder oh, Willy McBride Do all those who lie here know why they died? Did you really believe them, when they told you the cause? Did you really believe that this war would end wars? Well, the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame, the killing, and dying it was all done in vain Oh, Willy McBride, it all happened again And again, and again, and again, and again Did they beat the drums slowly? Did the play the fife lowly? Did they sound the death march, as they lowered you down? Did the band play the last post and chorus? Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?" ("No Man's Land" (also known as "The Green Fields of France" or "Willie McBride") is a song written in 1976 by Scottish-born Australian folk singer-songwriter Eric Bogle)
